I know someone who, although he and his family did not go to the camps, they had to hide out in the forest (and eat wild mushrooms and what other forest-plants they could find that were edible) until they could get out of Germany.

And I knew of someone in the town where I grew up, who had a number tattooed on her arm that she didn't like to talk about.

I find it hard to believe that people can deny it happened...too great a cloud of witnesses, I always thought. But those witnesses are slowly dying. I hope the "denyers" never win.
